Its a good map, you'd think that valve woulda made sure you couldnt get ontop of the building that has nodraw on it though..
length of the brushes? what do you mean?
Whats the best way to make an arch? I tried the arch brush tool, but they arnt hollow, lets say you have a hallway like this (_) and you want an arch to got across the top of it, a 180, but when you use the brush tool it blocks the hallway off, what can I do?
I see, I wont bother, I spend the night googling for models that people have made and distributed and didnt find any I wanted, Ill just use the default weapons
Im working on a singleplayer mod, called WARL (weapons and research lab). Anyways, I would like to know how/should I put css weapons in it? I think it would be cooler with a p90 in it but I dont know how to add weapons. Is it a good idea? Or will Valve get mad?

I remember making one of those, didnt know of this place back then : had to figure it out on my own, it sucked...
yay! it works, thanks guys! rather, thanks Rabid/Seventh!
ok, you guys know what your talking about, ill give that a go, on hl2world.com they said just so long as the cubemap can see something, its fine.
maps look good, but need a new story for the whole scene thingy 
ok ok, so I ran everything on the compile on normal, not fast, and then built cubemaps, that zombie, well that corner makes everything shiny, everything else seemed to fix itself, what can I do about that corner?
thanks, hoped it would work, but it didnt 
Im not sure what Ill do, guess it just has to stay as is :

ahem, are there any sites like that for source mappers to use?
I placed cubemaps, everywhere, doesnt help
When I play my level, all the zombies (in dim light) are shiny, you can see their texture but its like they have a metallic skin on them. How do I get rid of this?
All were made in photoshop
make sure the npc your using is the same as the npc in faceposer, each scene is designed for a certain model
I tried using that, couldnt figure it out, he skipped somestuff in the tutorial so I said screw it, I have yet to try the other ones, habboi, where's your map?
of the 3d window, right click on it and click on 3D textured
yeah, I gave up on that, I started making the map, but it just wasnt the same, and didnt look as nice either 
but there is no way to show in realtime how big the block is?
I map some for HL2 but I want to make a Sven Coop map, I have everything set up right, and can make maps fine, but. Im used to the ways of HL2 hammer, mostly being able to measure the size of the blocks/cubes. Whats a good way to measure the cube to 128 height (default wall size)?
go into the fgd or whatever they are with FGSCAPE and take out the mdl's then put them in the proper folders, not too helpful but thats all you should need to do, give google a go and i bet youll find how
I found it, it comes with the game 
How do I make one of these maps? Ive looked on these forums and on sven coop's site, they dont tell me anything on how I get the custom monsters, name the monsters, adjust health, and all that. What do I do?
thanks a million man!
Sorry for posting soo much, but forsome reason hammer is hating me, Ive made a door (brush and tied it to rotating) and all the settings are right but it turns from the middle, I try to drag that little circle to the edge of the door to make it rotate on that axis but there is no circle! How can I do it manually or make the little dragable circle appear?
lol, yeah, that program did a shitty job so Im just gonna redo the map :
Ok, I found VMEX and used that, it seemed to work ok, I got all my structure back but no properties, and some textures are screwed up.
Lesson to all : SAVE

I am working on a map, in short, and I compiled some of it and then saved (or thought I did) and logged off for the night, anyways, I log on thismorning to work on it and when I load it in Hammer none of the changes I made were there, so I load the map up in HL2 and the changes were there.
Anyways, does anyone know of a tool to convert the bsp back to vmf?

Pink checkerboards? I get those on valve maps in css, dont worry about it, add some cubemaps, and some properlighting, it should clear it up, I havnt found anyway around it, sorry
I worked with that, had it running in my map but I couldnt get the npc to face the !player
thanks guys!
Spag, try hitting Ctrl+ F5, thatll refresh the page and clear the cash for the page, it might have saved wrong
How do you do these things? Its been puzzling me..
#1 Make a car trap, a trap that raises a car, and you can release it, car falls, and raises again (like in half life)
#2 Apply force to an npc, I saw this today in Half Life 2 and couldnt begin to think of how, a zombie was shoved out of a window
Anyhelp would be appreciated, thanks!

open console, type npc_create npc_zombie (example)
next type ai_enable 1 in console and they will be alive

go to xthost.info, they got instant hosting, make a simple webpage though or they will kill you account
nice job sev, good representation and graphs of each weapon
ive made ones before, from that snarkpit tut, ill try that dr as well, when i fix up my area i may, but I just made it "broken" and added a ladder and some sparks on the button
Do what rabidmonkey says, it is possible to make a brush door and its quite easy, use a door measure texture and alight it properly, then make the door frame with brushes, one side at a time and use the texture you want for the door, then make a single brush in the center of the frame with the same texture, delete the measure texture and it should look like a door, not too hard
reinstall the sdk, thats all you can do, steam isnt a good program, it can work sometimes but then it craps up and your done for
yeah, btw, how do we check how many props we have in it? Cause I might have exeded 100, not sure but just to check...
ok, ill be sending mine in later today (area9), just need to add a few things and check for bugs
when is the deadline for the first map? We may not get the map we worked on for 10-35 hrs put into the map?
thats hard stuff to do, look for a example map, if you can, I wouldnt know myself, sorry
I've made a square brush, and made it a func_traintrack and then added some path_track's for it to go along, only problem is when it goes up, and your on it, it moves all choppy, going down is find just not up, anyhelp?
there will be more than one map, the first map will be one map with a bunch of rooms, the next map will be the same, if I understood correctly
I think Ill make mine a lab sort of view, the basement is darker and dreary, the middle is gonna be a lab like eli's maybe, and the top is undecided
whats a SAD map? What theme is it? What does it do?
